Grade 3 Math - Equivalent Fractions

📘 Introduction

Fractions can look different but still mean the same amount. These are called Equivalent Fractions. For example: 1/2 is the same as 2/4, because both mean half of a whole.

🔎 Example

If you cut a pizza into 2 equal slices and eat 1 slice, you’ve eaten 1/2. If you cut the same pizza into 4 slices and eat 2, that’s 2/4. Both fractions represent the same amount of pizza!

⚙️ How to Find Equivalent Fractions

Multiply or divide both the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) by the same number.
Example: 3/5 = 6/10 (multiply top and bottom by 2).
Example: 4/8 = 2/4 = 1/2 (divide top and bottom by 2).
